A master thread of my Outlander #wednesday100 drabbles.

Longing Reprieve
7x05

He glimpsed her across the encampment, moving purposefully, her arms full of supplies for her patients, exhaustion lining her face. Despite his own fatigue and urgently needing to speak with the General, he couldn’t help but linger on her every movement, longing for a few, uninterrupted moments with his beloved. Their recent days were marked by hurried, half-finished conversations and fleeting bedtime kisses as they both fell asleep immediately upon laying their heads. He longed to tell her all that was weighing on his heart, to find sanctuary in her presence, to together breathe in a moment of comfort, reprieve.

Whispered Reprieve
7x05

Her days are again filled with the dread of expectant war. She moves through each day with endless lists running through her mind. Patient maladies. Medication schedules. Needed supplies. There is nothing routine about war, but at least she knows how to create a sense of order here in the medical tent. But unlike past wars, she is no longer able to quell her panic about what might come. How many more battles could they survive? Each night, she whispers her worries to her heart, who holds her tightly in his arms, providing shelter and reprieve from the brewing storms.

Happy birthday to the delightful, thoughtful, encouraging Lara! She is one of my favorite people to rant & rave with, & there is no one I trust more to tell me my writing is a mess (or is better than I think).✨Now go wish her a happy day so I don’t have to put on my Claire face @larithaa.bsky.social

intersect for a while, I’m not sure that was the best story choice. And if it is not coincidence and they have met for a purpose, I look forward to s2 try to show that purpose. Otherwise the premise of them all meeting is, for a lack of a better word, too cutesy for my likings. 🤷‍♀️

I’m also still mulling over (still very messy thoughts!) what the purpose of having Julia and Henry meet Ellen and Brian is. Just because they thought it was convenient for them to be all in the same time and place? If it is mere coincidence that Claire and Jamie’s parent met and had their lives

Nodding my head in vigorous agreement with pretty much everything Leah said in this thread. Though I am a less soft target and will probably have less patience if S2 remains similarly uneven in its storytelling/writing/character development.

Leah, ya know? 💜🥔 @awkwardterrier.bsky.social · 3d

I thought the finale was a good episode in a very uneven season overall, even if it featured some of the same issues as the rest such as pacing and unequal time for the couples. And (giant sigh) they did successfully pull me in for S2 with that ending (unsurprising thb, I’m a soft target).
